Bishwa Nath Singh :
The legend goes for Shivratri that was based on hunter unknowingly dropping Bilva leaves ( Bel Patra)on Lingam is as follows:There once lived a tribal hunter who was a Shiva devotee. One day he lost his way while hunting and was trapped i...n the forest at night. Soon wild animals started to gather around him and he climbed a Bel or Bilva tree. In order to keep himself awake, he started plucking Bilva leaves and dropped it down repeating ‘Om Namah Shivaya.’ In the morning, he discovered that he had been dropping the leaves on a Shivling. And the word spread that he was saved by Lord Shiva. People started celebrating the day as Shivratri. The story is mentioned in Mahabharata by Bhismha while on the bed of arrows. The hunter was born as King Chitra Bhanu who could remember his previous births. And he discussed the importance of Shivaratri with a sage. Apart from these myths, it is said that the reunion of Lord Shiva and Parvati happened on the Shivratri day. Another legend states that Lord Shiva performed the Taandava on this day.Let us offer our humble obeisance to the lotus feet of Lord Shiva and His spouse Goddess Parvati whose wedding ceremony is celebrated tonight with gaiety and devotion!
